Cosmic Beacons
The stars that 'twinkle, twinkle' in the night sky are just a few of the countless trillions of glowing orbs that illuminate the universe. Stars come in many sizes, colors, and ages. Some live short, fast, brilliant lives, while others putter along as faint cosmic embers. Some will blast themselves to bits, some will just fade away, and some will collapse to form black holes. All of them will continue to inspire poets and scientists alike.
